Extend each Dirichlet character periodically to all integers by setting when . Its Dirichlet L-function is initially the absolutely convergent Dirichlet series
The group has elements. Part (i) gives, for every integer , including nonunits,
For a nonunit both sides are zero, because the fixed class is a unit. Interchanging the finite character sum and the absolutely convergent Dirichlet series therefore proves
This is Orthogonality of Dirichlet characters applied to a residue-class indicator. Any meromorphic continuations of the two sides agree by uniqueness of analytic continuation.
